Declares War: As we devour your cities with war, we will open the gates, and let the hyenas break your bones.

Player Accepts Deal: I will it.
Player Rejects Deal: I forge my own path here.
Benjamin Franklin:
VA: Christopher Smith

Greeting: Greetings! I am Benjamin Franklin, doctor, scientist, writer, and full of advice, whether you will listen or not.
Declares War: War is always tragedy, the more so that you have forced our hand into this.
Attacked: So you would waste all the industry of your people on death.
Defeat: What use are tools without a project? Of what use is a mind without ideas? I shall set these down and move on.
Player Accepts Deal: A capital proposal — let's make it work!
Player Rejects Deal: Alas, when we separate what is useful from what is not… well, this is not useful.
Catherine the Great:
VA: Svetlana Migdissova (same voice actor as Catherine back in Civ5!)
Quote: Let us rule by force of personality, by passion, rather than some bloodless system!

Player Rejects Deal: Friendship is friendship, but there are times that I must say no.
Charlemagne:
VA: Christian Manuel Oliveira
Quote: Action is better than knowledge, but one must have the knowledge to know what actions bring!
Greeting: I am Charles, known as Charlemagne. While others rule by the sword, I rule by the grace of God. And also the sword.

Attacked: The blades of the righteous, the banner of heaven. It is you who should fear.

Player Rejects Deal: Not now. I have a feast to plan.
Confucius:
VA: Xiucheng Zhang

Player Rejects Deal: This is unadvised. Reconsider.
Friedrich:
VA: Linus Kraus
Quote: We strive to do our duty, to serve our country faithfully at the expense of our blood and of our repose, to commit our whole being to it.

Attacked: To war, then! You rogues! Would you live forever?
Defeat: And my critics said that my poetry would be my downfall!

Player Rejects Deal: A ridiculous offer. Send one better, or not at all!

Greeting: So here we meet, and I got to ask myself — are you going to be my friend or my foe?
Declares War: If I can't change your heart, I suppose I'm going to have to take you out of the way.
Attacked: Y'all don't know what it's like to be shackled. So go on and do what you're gonna do, 'cause I can't die but once.
Defeat: You think this ends things? You think that casting out one broken-down woman makes you a hero in the eyes of God and history?
Player Accepts Deal: Not too bad. Always could be better.
Player Rejects Deal: Yeah well, our paths got to split on this.
Hatshepsut:
VA: Shaimaa Mohamed Shaalan

Declares War: When we are done, the lone and level sands will be all that remains of you.
Attacked: The nau-snake is in my belly, and I have not given myself to you, your flame will not be on me.

Ibn Battuta:
VA: Boutros Moussa
Quote: Come, and we will walk strange shores and make them familiar. And on returning find our familiar shores strange.

Declares War: I am no soldier. But I employ them. Here they come.
Attacked: A future traveler will not be able to tell our dead from yours.
Defeat: In the empty plain I have seen men's forms turned to stone, and all around them their cities nothing but dust. Is that me? Shall I gaze sightless upon the plain for all eternity? Ah, what a fate.
Player Accepts Deal: A righteous development.
Player Rejects Deal: I fear I cannot.
Isabella:
VA: Yasmina Alvarez Tienenozz
Quote: It is God's will that I should be queen, and that His kingdom should extend over the earth. Will it be the same for yours?
Greeting: I am Isabella, queen of these lands. The queen is right. The queen is always right.

Attacked: You only make martyrs.
Defeat: I, who sought to extend God's grace across the land, am to be cast out. To live amongst pig farmers and… what is the word… bakers!

Rejects Player's Deal: No. I have my reasons.
José Rizal
VA: Bryan Allen Encarnacion

Greeting: I am Jose Rizal, poet, painter, revolutionary.
Declares War: You must shatter the vase to spread its perfume, and smite the rock to get the spark.
Attacked: We do not sleep; we wait for you with fire in our hearts and weapons in our hands.
Defeat: "Consummatum est" — it is finished.
Player Accepts Deal: A beautiful proposition.

Lafayette
VA: Nicolas Collombet
Quote: We walk always between two abysses. Care and moderation is our path forward.
Greeting: Just Citizen Lafayette, s'il vous plait.
Declares War: Sic semper tyrannis.
Attacked: Tyranny is strong. Liberty is stronger.

Lakshmibai
Machiavelli
VA: Michele Cory
Quote: Every one sees what you appear to be, few really know what you are. This is as it should be.
Greeting: Niccolo Machiavelli, at your service. How might you be of service to me? I mean… how might I be of service to you?
Declares War: To be caught unarmed is the worst fault.
Attacked: Hahahaha! You think me a fox; I am also a lion.
Defeat: A struggle. A fall. I am no prince, but only a writer. I return to my writing desk in obscurity.

Rejects Player's Deal: There is no profit in it.
Napoleon

Quote: To do all that one is able to do, is to be human; to do all that one would like to do, is to be a god.

Rejects Player's Deal: One cannot treat with all the world at once.
Pachacuti
VA: Fernando Saire
Quote: My heart is the heart of the mountain. My name is Lord Cataclysm. Let us shake the world.
Greeting: I am Pachacuti, favored of the sun and child of the mountains. Shake in my presence as the earth itself does.
Declares War: The puma, the condor, and the serpent call me to war! I cannot call them back!
Attacked: Better to strike your weapons against the heart of the mountain; our warriors are stone.
Defeat: Pachacuti, Lord Cataclysm, will live on in memory, if not in body.
Player Accepts Deal: A revelation that we will live by.
Rejects Player's Deal: This proposal lacks substance.
Simon Bolivar
Tecumseh
VA: Dillon Dean
Quote: My forefathers were warriors. Their son is a warrior. From them I take only my existence. I have made myself what I am.
Greeting: You see a star that crosses the night sky like a bolt of lightning? That is me, Tecumseh, the one who leaps great distances.
Declares War: We will drive you back to the sea, to the caves, to whatever place you have come from.
Attacked: Let it be taken, our homes and our land given to us by the Great Spirit? The places we bury the ones who have gone home? Never!
Defeat: A death song has come to me and I am going to sing it. When I am done, I will go to where the snows of winter go, where you cannot reach.
Player Accepts Deal: Deal. Don’t make us regret it.
Rejects Player's Deal: No.
Trung Trac

Quote: When all the men bow their heads in submission, only I stand for what is right.
Greeting: The breeze from Fan Si Pan was cool this evening, and the Red River flows calm. And here you are.
Declares War: We have borne your insults for too long. I will not bow my head when there is injustice.
Attacked: The land will fight you. The rivers will rise against you. The sky will cast fire down upon you. You will not succeed.
Defeat: My ancestors await. My voice will be lost to time, but I will dwell with them in paradise.
Player Accepts Deal: In harmony, like land and water.
Rejects Player's Deal: My people's interests come first. No.
Xerxes
VA: Mario Miguel De Candia
Quote: Under my hand, wherever there is conflict and chaos I strike it down. I will have peace, even amidst ashes.
Greeting: There is one head alone that sits at the center of the world, and it is mine.
Declares War: Your warriors march forward into the flames of their own destruction.
Attacked: Your raiders would challenge the center of the world? Typical.
Defeat: I was an emperor; now just a pawn in someone else's game.
Player Accepts Deal: Indeed. Now, if you will excuse me.
Rejects Player's Deal: The gates are closed at this time.
My services are standing by for when Dido shows up again speaking Hebrew pretending it's Phoenician for the third game in a row.
